G, do you remember the story from Babydoll's thread about the old woman who told her that her husband had run off for 3 years? They eventually reconciled... I believe they had kids...

I bet she wasn't a nasty pasty in that time to her WH (although she mighta been if there was an OW!!!).

I am very aware that the Universe, bubs and WH are watching me. I don't have much respect for WH right now so maybe I don't care about earning his respect, but if there is EVER to be reconcilliation (and I beleive there isn't) then there has to be respect there... I guess I am asking for lessons in how to walk the HIGH ROAD cos I've never done it before in my life. Better buy some books on Ghandi and read up!

On the books front, yep! I am onto another great book (I don't think I mentioned it) called "The Gift Of Betrayal" (hate the title! Like ANYONE thinks of an emotional tsunami as a GIFT!) and it's teaching me that healing can take a very, very, very long time. That sort of takes the pressure off.
